Movieline Rises from the Dead

There's nothing like the old Movieline magazine, where editors Virgina Campbell and the late, lamented Ed Marguiles presided over snarky, wise, funny and keen-eyed coverage of Hollywood and its discontents. It died slowly: Over the years, more and more gloss and fluff crept into the mix until the magazine changed its name to "Hollywood Life" and became a fashion and lifestyle thing. Does it still even exist? I have no idea.

Well, I should technically have said that there's nothing in print like the old Movieline, because a new online-only version of Movieline -- with enough snark to curl David Denby's cuticles -- is up and running under the editorship of some of the folks who were left without a web site when Defamer was cut loose by the Gawker empire.
